Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile
The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile
The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.
Explanation:
Yes, evidently, the process is consistent with the scientific process because in scientific process falsification and modification are two very important traits. So this new concept have modified the existing theories.
Through the modification a theory is adjusted without undermining other discovering made through the theory's prediction.
There are many other evidences that prove this fact for example Einstien's Theory of relativity also changes the existing concepts.
' C ' is the only correct statement on the list. We don't know anything about diagram-x or diagram-y because we can't see them.
